From the CEO Summer is ending and fall is right around the corner. If you’re like me, you are ready to enjoy the gorgeous weather and stunning fall foliage that autumn in Northwest Arkansas brings, as well as the excitement of back to school. Arkansas Razorback fans are gearing up for the 201819 football and basketball seasons. Inside this September/ October issue of Butterfield LIFE, you’ll find a sneak peek of the renderings of the new expansion at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, which will debut at the first home football game. Don’t forget, the BTV Transportation team is ready to safely deliver residents to and from home football and basketball games at the University of Arkansas campus this year. Be sure to sign up at the transportation desk in the lobby. Also inside this issue, the UA Alumni Association announces its 2018 awardees — 13 outstanding alumni and friends, including three BTV residents, Lee Bodenhamer and Dr. Morriss and Ann Henry, who’ve made extraordinary strides in bringing prominence to the university. These individuals will be feted in October at the 74th Annual Alumni Awards Celebration at the Fayetteville Town Center. I can’t reflect on our summer at the Village without raving about the BTV Hawaiian Luau we held on August 4 in the Performance Hall. Both our Dining and Programs and Events departments did an outstanding job of coordinating the island-themed event with entertainment by the Hula Halau O Leilani hula troupe. It was a great evening of food, music and fellowship. Continually, I am intrigued by our magazine cover profiles that spotlight residents and their interesting, purposeful lives. This issue does not disappoint as we feature Mike and Susan Cruse, who lead our weekly BTV Bible Study. The Cruses are a couple whose marriage is steeped in faith, family and studying the Bible, and we thank them for sharing the Word and their fellowship with the Village. Everyone enjoy the weather in the coming weeks, and have a great fall.
